New album SONGS OF EXPERIENCE confirmed for December 1. That is in fact a Friday, so there's a small chance Bono isn't fucking with us. Consider it an early Christmas gift or a slightly less early Hanukkah gift.

Featuring the unstoppable hit singles:

The Black Out
The Best Thing
TLTTGYA

Discussion point the first: what experiences, exactly, will the listener be privy to on Songs of Experience?

I thought at one point that these songs would have something to do with their peak years, as SOI was largely about their adolescence, but yeah, nah. So far all of these songs have just been about random shit.

according to the other place, edge said on his BBC interview today that every song on the album was a contender to be a single, they are all classics, and that they changed TBT "to a rocker" literally 24 hours before release.
